4 San Francisco Bars for Margarita Lovers

Everyone who drinks has a story about tequila. For some, Patron shots were the key to
scoring that hot one night stand that is still worth talking about. For others, a night of margarita
pitchers filled with cheap tequila is the night that their best friends know
never to mention again. But
whether the memories are good or bad, tequila is one of the drinks out there
with stories to tell and margaritas are the most common way that tequila is
consumed. Salt-rimmed or frozen,
strong or smooth, margaritas turn up on drink menus all over San Francisco so
that you’ll have stories to share night after night. Here are four of the bars
where you’re likely to find people drinking them.

If you really want to get serious about your tequila
drinking, you want to go to San Francisco’s tequila bar, Impala. Hardcore drinkers can do their fancy
shots while the rest of the group plays it safer with the different margaritas
that make the drink list. Cheap
drinkers can take advantage of $2 Tuesdays which include margarita drink
specials and inexpensive Mexican food. Just beware that the staff at Impala is reported to be super hot so if
you’ve got too many margarita pitchers coming to your table, you might end up
with one of those “I can’t believe I did that” stories that tequila drinks are
known for.

If you want to actively try your hand at creating one of
those stories for yourself and you’re a woman living in or around San
Francisco, you want to check out the Good Girl, Bad Girl Cocktail Hour at The Lexington
Club. It happens every Friday
night from 9 – 10; good girls order margaritas, bad girls order tequila shots
and both kinds of girls only have to pay $1 per drink during that hour. Of course, if you’re trying to get your
money’s worth, chances are you’re either going to be a bad girl or a sick girl
before the end of the night, but if you think you can hold your own with your
margaritas, this is the place to show it off!

Harry Denton is known throughout San Francisco for his
Starlight Room which is frequented by tourists from around the globe. But locals know that the Denton place
to go is the much newer spot, Club Rouge. And in-the-know locals know that the margaritas at this
trendy hot spot are only $2 if you make it there for happy hour (5 pm – 9 pm on
Thursdays and Fridays and 5 pm – 8 pm on Saturdays). They’re strong enough to be more than worth their low cost
but not so strong that you’ll be ready to go home before the real party begins
there late at night.

Happy Hour margaritas may be a good idea on the weekends but
are they really smart during the week? Over at Maya, they are. The
margaritas here are more of a leisurely afternoon kind of beverage, filled with
fruit and made to give you just a buzz without packing a punch. They cost $5 from 5 pm – 7 pm every
weekday and come served with complimentary appetizers so you can get your snack
on while doing your post-work wind-down.
